Set up the MCP server
Gamma MCP powers Gamma Connectors and integrations in popular AI tools.
Gamma MCP is a hosted server that gives AI tools the ability to create gammas on your behalf. Integrations like the Gamma connectors in Claude and ChatGPT are powered by this server.
Quick reference
Works with any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol.
Available on all Gamma plans. Generations charge credits.
Three capabilities: generate content, browse themes, organize to folders.
Uses OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration for custom integrations.
See MCP tools reference for full parameter tables and authentication details.
Capabilities
Generate content -- create presentations, documents, webpages, or social posts with control over text density, tone, audience, language, images, themes, layout, headers/footers, export format, and sharing permissions.
Browse themes -- search Gamma's theme library by name. Each theme includes tone and color keywords to help match your style.
Organize to folders -- browse or search your Gamma folders and save generated content to specific locations.
Getting started
To use a Gamma Connector, you need an AI tool with a Gamma Connector in its library and a Gamma account on any plan. The setup process varies by platform -- see Connect integrations for step-by-step instructions.
Tips for best results
Be specific about structure: "create a 10-slide marketing strategy covering target audience, channels, budget, and metrics" works better than "make a presentation about marketing."
Describe your style upfront: "professional and minimal," "colorful and creative," "corporate and clean."
Specify the format: presentation, document, webpage, or social post.
Control text density: "keep slides brief with bullet points" or "include detailed explanations."
Mention folder names if you want content organized: "save to my Marketing folder."
Request exports when needed: "export as PowerPoint" or "generate a PDF."
Request custom MCP access
Building your own integration? The Gamma MCP server uses OAuth with Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). Your platform must support DCR to connect.
The form asks for your name, email, company, use case description, OAuth redirect URIs, and a logo for the consent page (SVG, PNG, or JPEG, 256x256 px).
Troubleshooting
Authentication errors
Your connection to Gamma may have expired. Disconnect and reconnect the Gamma connector in your AI assistant to refresh authentication.
Connection problems
Make sure you're logged into both your AI assistant and your Gamma account before connecting. If issues persist, check your network connection.
Insufficient credits
Your account doesn't have enough credits. Purchase more at Settings > Billing or upgrade your plan.
Invalid parameters
Your AI assistant will typically retry with corrected values. If the issue persists, try rephrasing your request with simpler options.
